Revenue increased by over 21% as the company grew Total Subscribers in the portfolio by more than 155,000
Attrition declined by 140 basis points year over year to 11.4%, a 13-quarter low
Vivint Smart Home, Inc. (NYSE: VVNT), a leading smart home company, today announced results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
“I am very pleased with our third quarter 2021 results as we achieved double digit year-over-year growth in revenue,” said David Bywater, CEO of Vivint. “Our revenue growth rate was more than double the growth rate in the prior year period, reflecting the robust demand for the products and services we deliver. Many of the underlying metrics of the business showed strong improvement year-over-year as well. Our last-twelve-month attrition rate came in at 11.4%, which was a 13-quarter low and a 140-basis point improvement versus the prior year period.”
“Another metric we are pleased with is the nearly $78 million in net cash from operating activities in the quarter,” continued Mr. Bywater. “Operating the business with positive net cash from operating activities has been a focus of the entire organization, and we expect to meet that goal again in 2021. Our belief is that Vivint’s business model is superior to others in the industry both in terms of unit economics as well as the ability to adapt to dynamically changing economic environments.”
Third Quarter 2021 Highlights (vs. prior year period)
- Revenue increased by $68.0 million to $386.7 million, representing growth of 21.3%
- Net loss improved by $18.7 million to $92.7 million
- Adjusted EBITDAa increased by $16.5 million to $170.4 million
- Attrition rate improved to 11.4%, the lowest rate in 13 quarters
- Net Subscriber Acquisition Costs per New Subscriber for the LTM period declined to $100, down 52.2%
- Net Service Margin at 77.7%
“We delivered solid performance for the third quarter despite the continued challenges associated with the pandemic, including supply chain and inflationary pressures,” said Dale R. Gerard, CFO of Vivint. “Revenue growth, led by growth in total subscribers as well as contributions from our new smart energy and smart insurance initiatives, was over 21% year over year, while producing an adjusted EBITDA margin of more than 44%. We added over 114,000 new smart home subscribers in the third quarter. We are on pace to meet or exceed the high end of our 2021 guidance targets despite the aforementioned headwinds.”
“Regarding the delay in releasing our third-quarter results, while reviewing certain customer contract transactions during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting relating to the timing of revenue recognition resulting in certain immaterial errors in previously reported amounts of revenue,” continued Mr. Gerard. “Accordingly, the Company has reflected the corrections of the immaterial errors in the results for prior periods included in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Notwithstanding the material weakness, the Company has concluded that the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flow for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.”
Full Year Outlook
For the full year 2021, Vivint is updating guidance as follows:
- Total subscribers in the range of 1.84 to 1.85 million vs. previous guidance between 1.80 and 1.85 million
- Total revenue in the range of $1.44 to $1.46 billion vs. previous guidance between $1.38 and $1.42 billion
- Adjusted EBITDAa in the range of $650 to $660 million vs. previous guidance between $640 and $655 million
a) This earnings release includes Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, metrics that are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (GAAP). Covenant Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors about the calculation of, and compliance with, certain financial covenants contained in the agreements governing the Company’s notes, and the credit agreements governing the Company’s revolving credit facility and term loan. See the Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures section at the end of this earnings release for the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliations to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. |
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity, and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including Net Loss and adjustments that could be made for impairment charges, restructuring charges and the timing and magnitude of other amounts included in the reconciliation. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Certain Definitions
Total Subscribers - is the aggregate number of active smart home and security subscribers at the end of a given period.
Total Monthly Recurring Revenue - or Total MRR, is the average total monthly recurring revenue recognized during a given period.
Average Monthly Recurring Revenue per User - or AMRRU, is Total MRR divided by average monthly Total Subscribers during a given period.
Total Monthly Service Revenue - or MSR, is the contracted recurring monthly service billings to our smart home and security subscribers, based on the Total Subscribers number as of the end of a given period.
Average Monthly Service Revenue per User - or AMSRU, is Total MSR divided by Total Subscribers at the end of a given period.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin - is Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue.
Covenant Adjusted EBITDA Margin - is Covenant Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue.
Net Loss Margin - is Net Loss as a percent of revenue.
Attrition Rate - is the aggregate number of canceled smart home and security subscribers during the prior 12-month period divided by the monthly weighted average number of Total Subscribers based on the Total Subscribers at the beginning and end of each month of a given period. Subscribers are considered canceled when they terminate in accordance with the terms of their contract, are terminated by us or if payment from such subscribers is deemed uncollectible (when at least four monthly billings become past due). If a sale of a service contract to third parties occurs, or a subscriber relocates but continues their service, we do not consider this as a cancellation. If a subscriber transfers their service contract to a new subscriber, we do not consider this a cancellation.
Average Subscriber Lifetime - in number of months, is 100% divided by our expected long-term annualized attrition rate (which is currently estimated at 13%) multiplied by 12 months.
Net Service Cost per Subscriber - is the average monthly service costs incurred during the period (both period and capitalized service costs), including monitoring, customer service, field service and other service support costs, less total non-recurring smart home services billings and cellular network maintenance fees for the period, divided by average monthly Total Subscribers for the same period.
Net Service Margin - is the monthly average MSR for the period, less total average net service costs for the period divided by the monthly average MSR for the period.
New Subscribers - is the aggregate number of net new smart home and security subscribers originated during a given period. This metric excludes new subscribers acquired by the transfer of a service contract from one subscriber to another.
Net Subscriber Acquisition Costs per New Subscriber - is the net cash cost to create new smart home and security subscribers during a given 12-month period divided by New Subscribers for that period. These costs include commissions, Products, installation, marketing, sales support and other allocations (general and administrative and overhead); less upfront payments received from the sale of Products associated with the initial installation, and installation fees. Upfront payments reflect gross proceeds prior to deducting fees related to consumer financing of Products. These costs exclude capitalized contract costs and upfront proceeds associated with contract modifications.
Total Monthly Service Revenue for New Subscribers - is the contracted recurring monthly service billings to our New Subscribers during the prior 12-month period.
Average Monthly Service Revenue per New Subscriber - is the Total Monthly Service Revenue for New Subscribers divided by New Subscribers during the prior 12-month period.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation (or non-cash compensation), certain financing fees, changes in the fair value of the derivative liability associated with our public and private warrants and certain other non-recurring expenses or gains.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue.
During the first quarter of 2021, in connection with our re-assessment of our accounting for our public and private warrants, we updated our definition of “Adjusted EBITDA” to exclude the impact of changes in the fair value of the derivative liability associated with our public and private warrants. We do not consider changes in the fair value of the warrants to be directly attributable to our operations and we believe that excluding the impact of changes in the fair value of the warrants from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA results in a metric that better reflects the results of our operations. Prior period disclosures of Adjusted EBITDA were updated to conform to our updated definition of Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and is subject to important limitations. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies.
Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to ours. In addition, targets based on Adjusted EBITDA are among the measures we use to evaluate our management’s performance for purposes of determining their compensation under our incentive plans.
Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Covenant Adjusted EBITDA
Covenant Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense (net of interest income), income and franchise taxes and depreciation and amortization (including amortization of capitalized subscriber acquisition costs), further adjusted to exclude the effects of certain contract sales to third parties, non-capitalized subscriber acquisition costs, stock based compensation, changes in the fair value of the derivative liability associated with our public and private warrants and certain unusual, non-cash, non-recurring and other items permitted in certain covenant calculations under the agreements governing our Notes and the Credit Agreement.
We believe that the presentation of Covenant Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about the calculation of, and compliance with, certain financial covenants contained in the agreements governing the Notes and the Credit Agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Covenant Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers and analysts calculate Covenant Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.
Covenant Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
See the following tables for quantitative reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA for historical periods to Net Loss, which we believe is the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
